All right, pay is great with work-life balance, but progression is very difficult
- Really great people to work with (very smart and friendly).
- Fun and energizing office vibe.
- Good learning and health benefits.
- You don't feel like you are part of the company.
- Product management does not engage with engineering.
- Career progression feels very slow.
- Reviews are every year, and it is difficult to push that to be quicker.
- You will often need to work on things that don't feel like a growth opportunity.
- Definitely felt like it had gone very downhill over the past two years.
